Day 226. What nurtures a fruitful life of prayer? (2025)

Today is day 226 and we are studying A Rule of Prayer: Scripture, Prayer, and Worship.

226. What nurtures a fruitful life of prayer?

My life of prayer is fed by the regular reading of Scripture, practice of personal prayer, and corporate worship of God. The ancient threefold rule of the Church encourages weekly Communion, the Daily Office, and private devotions to shape this way of life. (Psalm 1; John 15:1–17; Ephesians 5:15–20; Philippians 4:8–9; Hebrews 10:19–25)

We will conclude today with Proper 13 found on page 618 of the Book of Common Prayer (2019).
